Transformation Butterfly's Journal, 03 June 2018

I am back to my Fatsecret family after being under doctors orders to not workout but recover from a surgery. I told them I would gain weight if I couldn't workout.
Succeed in doing just that I am now 51 and weight is 198 lbs. and I feel every pound. I read all of my Fatsecret buddy postings, but had to stop for awhile as I was getting very depressed as I could workout. I am very proud of all of your progress in my absence. I survived hurricane Irma during this time, but the park I use to workout in didn't and will not open until September so I really need motivation to get moving again.

Good news: I moved into a new apartment building and it's much quieter so I can sleep at night no more noisy neighbors. I know live on the third floor no neighbors above me but the heavenly father. My son has completed is first year at FAMU and is starting an internship on Monday for the summer. I am now driving a 2016 Nissan Versa. (Nice and saves me on gas and no major car repairs or bills and yes Butterfies are all over my interior as they represent 2nd chances and transformation.) I just finished a detox cleanse yesterday to jump start my workout. No cookies, cakes, ice cream or junk food in my kitchen presently.
Currently working on decorations for Church annual Italian dinner to be held Saturday. Purchase 2 tickets and gave them to an elderly couple on fixed income so they could enjoy a night out without worrying about paying. (Listening to Italian restaurant music while writing this entry. Promise no pasta just decorations although I did discover Gelato last year and love it.)I am also responsible for Fathers Day brunch décor as well as dinner after Christian concert next Sunday. (Local Christian rock group performing)


Dinner tonight: Salmon, riced cauliflower with garlic, string beans and an apple.

Bad news: I am going to have my first official weigh in tomorrow morning. I know weight has increased and I have pictures to prove it. (Sorry not posting any pictures for now not that brave yet.

Request: Motivational steps as I am not at cruising speed yet just put gas in the car and moving towards the on ramp of exercise. Dusted off sneakers, exercise clothing and put batteries in stationary bike monitor, still looking for my free weights.
189.0 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 49.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
steady weight

When circumstances arise in one’s life that prevents exercise for a period of time it means that the person also has to make diet adjustments to maintain some type of weight control. That is just the reality of things.
